IMPROVEMENTIN COOKING UTENSILS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 208,865, dated October8, 1878; application filed March 14, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PATRICK J. TooivIEY, of the city of Syracuse, Stateof New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in later-HeatingApparatus, of which the following', taken in connection with theaccompanying drawing, is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to water-heaters designed to be applied toparlor-stoves, cookstoves, and ranges, and having a pipe extending fromtheir bottom to the lire, for the purpose of bringing the water-heatingsurface more intimately in contact with the fire.

The invention consists in the combination of a vessel having extendingfrom its bottom a pipe communicating with its interior and closed at itslower extremity, and a loose col lar fitted to said pipe and providedwith means for supporting the same and vessel at various heights, forthe purpose of regulating the temperature of the water inthe vessel andrapidly bringing the same to the boiling-point when required,substantially as hereinafter more fully described.

In the 'accompanying drawing, Figure 1 shows my invention as applied toa parlor magazine-stove; Fig. 2, the same as applied to a cook-stove,and Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are detail views of my invention.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

A represents a kettle or culinary vessel of any desirable form. p is apipe, preferably of wrought-iron, attached to thebottom of the vessel Ain any suitable manner, and communicating with the interiorlof the same.It is closed and pointed at its lower extremity, and of sufiicientlength to allow it to be forced through the coal and into the fire inthe stove, and bring the bottom of the vessel down over the opening inthe stove. The water in the vessel A, being in direct communication withthat in the pipe, thus becomes heated in an exceedingly short time. Forordinary purposes a plain pipe, constructed and attached as aforesaid,is all that is required, but in places where hot water at varioustemperatures is constantly required, I connect to the pipe p a loosecollar, c, in such a manner as to allow the pipe to be elevated andlowered therein and retained at any height, thus allowing of regulatingthe temperature of the water in the vessel A.

The construction of the collar c and its connection with the pipe padmits of many variations and modifications, two forms of which areillustrated in the accompanying drawing. In Fig. 3 it is represented inthe form of .screwthreads on the exterior of the pipe working inathreaded eye in the collar, thus requiring rotation of either thevessel or the collar. In Figs. 4 and 5 the collar is represented ascomposed of two sections, hinged to each other at one end and providedat the opposite end with a clamp-screw, s, for clamping the pipe p,which is tted to slide longitudinally in the eye of the collar.

By. means of the collar c, with its clamping device, the pipe can beheld at almost any height within t-he stove, and thus the water Y in thevessel A may be kept heated to various degrees of temperature; and whenrequired at a boiling heat, bylowerin g the pipe p to bring it incontact with the burning fuel, it is almost porting the said pipe andvessel at various. heights, substantlally 1n the manner' and for thepurpose specified.
